Assembly feedback

September 19, 2026 · View on GitHub

One line per finding: what was observed, which part and revision, what was done on the prototype, what is planned for the next revision, and what validation actually happened. Nothing here is a completed drive test.

TPU track too stiffTrack printed with a 0.8 mm nozzleNot used; the 0.4 mm profile (nozzle, extrusion width, walls, layer height, infill, material) is the referenceRecord the full print profile with the part0.4 mm track: manual floor test, good flexibility and grip

Available M4 heat-set inserts are an option for the next revision, not a validated feature of this prototype.
